What separates the pressings
How to identify your copy
Three checks, in the order worth doing them.
- 1
Match the catalog number. It is printed on the spine and the record label. Check it together with the country against the pressings table above: the same number can appear in more than one country.
- 2
Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1990 UK pressing it reads “01 466913 2U 1A1 A” on side one and “01 466913 2U 1B1” on side two. Jackets get swapped over the decades; the runout does not.
- 3
Grade the condition. The same pressing can be worth several times more in near mint than in VG. Grade the vinyl and the sleeve separately — our grading guide shows the standard scale.
A 1990 jacket with a later disc inside is a reissue in an original sleeve. Judge the pressing by the runout etching and the label, never by the cover.
Questions
Which pressing of Spirits Dancing In The Flesh is worth the most?
The 1990 originals lead. After that it is all condition: the gap between near mint and VG is usually larger than the gap between pressings.
How do I tell if I have a 1990 original?
Match the catalog number on the spine and label against the table above, check the country, then read the etched code in the runout groove. On the 1990 UK pressing the runout reads “01 466913 2U 1A1 A”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.
